Against Me - As the Eternal Cowboy (2003) by Against Me (보컬) on maniadb.com

The party's over
A cd skipping
It's the same song repeating
Grows more grating with each passing second...

And the walls contain a resonation, laughter, and conversation.
It was fun while it lasted, but now we should be going.
I hope everybody had a real good time
The hospitality's partaken, my head is flying my heart's racing to keep up.
And I hope I havent overdone it nooo...
I hope my body can take it. I hope I make the the occasion.
It's only this fucked up i start realizing
all this living is just dying
and if these are my friends, if this is my home,
if this is how i spend my nights, how i communicate, and demonstrate a love of life.
My eyes roll into the back of my head, if these are the last words that i ever said
No i'm not ready to die just yet.

And we will keep ourselves in a place
Where it's easy to hold onto
And as the last threats came and went
And this is the way that wars are played

Always heading for a front, heading for a front
Hey did we go into the obscurity
Of an easy to pass on feeling
Objection is so cliche

A new way on, a new way on
A new way on, a new way on

So can your pop sensibilities
Sing me the end of the world?
Turn gunshots and mortar blasts into a metaphor
Of how we are all the same?

Well there's a lot of things that should be said
Said, so we're hammering six strings
Machine gun inaudible voices
This is the party we came for

A new way on, a new way on
A new way on, a new way

We stand in amazement of motion
In a world that is constantly revolving
With plans of invasion and arms races racing
Yeah, we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock to the new sensation

A new way on, a new way on
A new way on, a new way on

It's an end to the sunrise aesthetic
Let's pretend this is an informed consent
That class division doesn't make an infantry
That there is no incentive, no franchise opportunities

And the magazine spreads of fashion models, gas masks in hand
It's okay, it's alright, these are situations we learn to live in
When an invasion can bring a country its freedom
When unconsiousness is true happiness
No, no, no, I don't know what to say

Not one more word tonight
between here and there
Well put a distance the size of the ocean
so now his heart can beat a skipping rythm
As the cadence carries me
I almost drift away
far enough to forget
but when it comes you cannot hesitate
and when found i will write
on account and seal it in an envelope
addresed to your last known residence

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

and we sink and we drown
and what is lost can never be found
well these arms they'd swim,


until the lungs pulled in
when panic was lost in a deep understanding
that you will see what is wrong with everything
what is wrong with you and me
that make all the right reasons to fuck it up
your gonna fuck it up

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaoooooooooooooooo

(That sounded pretty good to me)
(I thought it was pretty good)

there were no cameras brought for pictures to hold all the small details. we left them all behind. there was a place for and there was a time for and now we arrive and leave again, there is no point in a keepsake when you run from collections. i know one day there will be a book or a song line to remind me how much it meant to be hungy, exhausted, and alone. destination is a point, destination is a purpose, desperation is a reason to live...and this makes a heart beat. this could be any day of any year. this could be any stage in any city. all that matters is we are moving on. the roadside graveyards pass and we escape repeating. the construction of a nation building up and the destruction of a nation tearing down to build again. trailing taillights like the ghosts of the past en route to arrival. we are never going home.

how can you not find everything you need in all of this? potatoes, rice, and bread, we'll burn it as we take it in. sing your heart out, sing it like you mean it, you're gonna sing everything you're thinking, and you're gonna sing it until they're listening. cause if it really brings us all together, i'd say that settles all arguments of difference, surviving just by questioning, can you imagine if we all started demanding? i can play along to every record, front and back every song, and every word means as much to me as every word means to you. they can make an industry selling people the things they want to hear, if this is worth anything, we will sell it for humility, it will take us farther than the posture you're fronting.

In the closest alley,
In the first doorway,
He pushed up against her and closed his eyes.
He said "this is probably the worst decision that Ive ever made"
She laughed and smiled
she said "Im sure you do this all the time...right?"

As the morning came, and the city awoke,
into the building, the people all went to work.
As their rides out of town came, they parted ways,
she said "Do you know when you're coming back again?"
Dig it deeper, deeper, and farther still
Bury it up and over and into the ground.
All these lies will grow in ways that we never thought possible.

Quiet down, down, down
so soft of a sound
you can hear it all come back after you.

Quiet down, down, down
so soft of a sound
you can hear it all come back after you.

Now you want to take it back, you think you might have fucked up.
Waking dreams of concrete, deafening panic, cracking skull,
there is yelling all around, get up, get up, please start breathing.
And the moment will come when you finally realize
the results of decisions and the choices in your life
do you hear it all come back after you?

Sleep on pillows made in Singapore
Wrapped in comforters
Sweatin' through sheets
Drinkin' coffee in the morning
Flown in on aeroplanes across the vast seas

And your house is made of wood
Central air, central heat
You've got your furniture of particle board
Your doors are locked for, for safety

And you walk in leather shoes
Pants of denim, a black cotton sweatshirt
And you do what you do
'cause doing, you start to form a habit

And you drink all night long
And you sleep through the morning
And if something doesn't break
I'm just gonna go, go fucking insane

Away

And you sweep up the floor when it's dirty
You do the dishes, when the sink's full
And when the refridgerator's empty


Well it's time, it's time, it's time, it's time, to go the store

You put your books on a shelf
Clothes arranged in the closet
You hang the things on the wall that you don't wanna be so easily forgotten

I hate these songs
I hate the words
That the singer is singin' to me
I hate this melody
I hate this stupid fucking drum beat

But I'm not gonna tell anyone
What I'm really thinking about
Keep the conversations on the surface
Just keep on smiling
Just keep on saying
Everything's gonna be alright
It's gonna be alright [x2]
Alright [x11]

girl im sorry but i'm leaving.
we're both at fault, we're both to blame.
and it wasn't the other men cause there were other women.
this just isn't love, it's just the remorse of a loss, of a feeling.
even if i stayed it just wouldn't be the same.

double this drink up into the, tallest glass you got.
you know i aint used to sleeping all, alone.
gonna make it to the moon tonight on a 1 way kamikaze flight.
if i could get so high i'll leave behind my problems,
take em out with the empty bottles.

oh girl sorry but i'm leaving.
we're both at fault, we're both to blame.
and it wasn't the other men cause there were other women.
this just isn't love it's just the remorse of a loss of a feeling
even if i stayed it just wouldn't be the same.

me & this guitar are going swinging blind into the unknown.
you know a song & a stage is all i ever needed of a home.
someday i, will call from a payphone in a truckstop on the road
& you'll tell me how much better off you've been on your own.

oh girl sorry but i'm leaving.
we're both at fault, we're both to blame.
and it wasn't the other men cause there were other women.
this just isn't love it's just the remorse of a loss of a feeling
even if i stayed it just wouldn't be the same.
